| Moving Traffic Contraventions Survey | Tameside Council | We need your feedback to create a safer, cleaner, and better-connected transport network. We plan to apply for a designation order from the Secretary of State, enabling the council to enforce moving traffic contraventions, which are currently managed by the police. Enforcement of these offences, which include banned turns, yellow box junctions, and 'No Entry' signs, would improve road safety and air quality, and would allow the issuing of fines if drivers chose to contravene the signage. The public consultation survey is open on Monday 15 July and runs until Friday 27 September 2024. Your feedback will help address issues and consider future enforcement sites so please get involved. | 15/07/2024 | 27/09/2024 | ||
